One day in the future, a Ken Burns-style documentary will
be released that chronicles the dumpster fire that was the
year 2020. The creators will have the unenviable task of
documenting the inconceivable mix of natural catastrophes,
man-made debacles, and failed leadership that
plagued the land during the pandemic and left more than a
quarter of a million Americans dead.
What follows is my proposed soundtrack for the chapter
of the docu-series detailing escalating racial tensions after
George Floyd’s death and the 2020 presidential election.
==Spotify & YouTube links==

==Tracklist==
“What’s Goin’ On”<br>
by Marvin Gaye<br>
Still timeless and contemporary even
after 50 years, this song seeks long-ignored
answers for the societal ills of the
60s and 70s—unfortunately, not much
has changed.
“I Can’t Breathe”<br>
by H.E.R.<br>
A somber, poeticly admonishing ballad
made all the more powerful by using the
last words of some police abuse victims.
“This is America”
by Childish Gambino
A visceral and brutal response to Marvin
Gaye’s question as the listener is asked to
consider America through African-American
eyes.
“Fight the Power 2020”
by Public Enemy featuring Nas,
Rapsody, Black Thought, Jahi, YG &
QuestLove
This generation’s call for unity and defiance
from the OGs of conscious hip-hop.
“I Just Wanna Live”
by Keedron Bryant
Teen gospel singer/social media star
soulful, solemn appeal for survival has
become an unofficial anthem of the Black
Lives Matter movement.
“Is It Because I’m Black”<br>
by Salaam Remi featuring Sandra<br>
Bland, Black Thought, Cee-Lo Green,<br>
Anthony Hamilton, Syleena Johnson<br>
& Stephen Marley<br>
The obvious question raised at every
new tragedy at the hands of the authorities.
Even more haunting with the inclusion
of the voice of police violence victim
Sandra Bland.
“Lockdown”<br>
by Anderson Paak featuring Remix<br>
with JID, Noname, & Jay Rock<br>
Play-by-play from the protests over a
tight snare drum.
“The Bigger Picture”<br>
by Lil Baby<br>
The hook says it all: “It’s bigger than black
and white/It’s a problem with the whole
way of life/Can’t change overnight/But we
gotta start somewhere.”
“March March”<br>
by The Chicks<br>
No longer from Dixie, the much-maligned
ladies recall the strength of protest over
haunting strings and stark drums.
“Alright”<br>
by Kendrick Lamar<br>
Half exclamation/half affirmation,
Kendrick is the voice of hope and defiance
in the midst of violence and chaos.
